I sat curled up in my Duke blanket while lying my head on Troy's shoulder. We were sitting up on the roof watching our classmates walk back into the dorm after four days of freedom. Troy turned his head and kissed me on the forehead.

I sighed before squeezing his hand. "It looks like we have to get back into the swing of things."

Nodding his head slowly, Troy agreed. "I'm not looking forward to getting back in the classroom. I like spending all my days with you."

I leaned over and kissed his lips. He teased his lips as I giggled against his. "Quit Bolton."

"I'm not doing anything wrong, Montez." Throwing my head back to laugh, I caught his smirk and shook my head.

"You're a horrible liar, Troy. Never, ever quit your day job." I grinned.

"Hm . . . oh crap. Basketball practices are going to start calling my name." Troy shook his head while stretching.

"Aww you poor baby. You probably should have been in the gym over break. Coach is going to kill you." I smirked as he looked over at me.

"You're not helping the situation, Gabi." He said as I nodded my head.

"I know; I'm just trying to prepare myself for the long nights without you by my side. I'm going to be awfully lonely." I managed to get out before pushing forward a pout.

"I'm sorry darlin'. But I'm here to play basketball. I think the majority of the practices are going to be early morning ones; so breakfast is going to be out of the question." He told me.

"I think I'll be able to manage to get breakfast without you by my side." I grinned as he nodded.

He ran his arm up and down mine to generate more heat. I looked up at him before kissing his chin. "You're growing this out."

"I'm experimenting. What do you think so far?" He questioned while meeting my eyes before rubbing the stubble on his chin.

I turned up my nose before grinning. "The stubble isn't attractive." I giggled as he shook his head.

"Don't like?" With shock in his voice, Troy managed to make his eyes wide and surprise like.

"I don't like. I'm sorry." I kissed his lips before relaxing against his side. I laid my ear near his chest so I could hear his heartbeat.

He ran his fingers through my hair as I relaxed against him. Our fingers were linked and ever so often he would squeeze them just to know he was there.

I'll be seeing you
In all the old familiar places
That this heart of mine embraces
All day through.

In that small cafe;
The park across the way;
The children's carousel;
The chestnut trees;
The wishin' well.

12:00 pm

I laughed while listening to Taylor, Bella, and Olivia share their stories from back home. Their attention quickly turned to me.

"So being here, all alone I might add, for four days with Troy. How did that go?" Taylor grinned as I shook my head.

"It was an interesting four days. We had so much fun though." My mind traveled back to all the stuff Troy and I had done together.

"What did you do?" Propping her chin on her balled up fist, Olivia grinned knowingly at me.

"Um . . . we had a food fight, had pizza for Thanksgiving dinner, went shopping the day after, started decorating the dorm, and cuddled together and I think that's about all." I grinned.

"That's lots stuff for four days." Bella raised her eyebrows knowingly.

"We broke it up. Don't read too much into it guys." I rolled my eyes while hearing screams coming from down the hallway.

A knock on the door distracted me. I pushed myself off my bed and walked over to the door before throwing it open.

"Hey Gabi. There's a huge package down in the lobby for you and Troy." Smiling, Rachel leaned against the door as I nodded.

"Do you know where boy wonder is?" I asked looking between my suite mates and Rachel.

"Last time I saw him, he was with Matt, Chad, and Dustin. They were heading off somewhere." Rachel said as I nodded.

"Thanks Rachel." Walking into the hallway, I grinned and started walking towards the stairs towards the lobby.

I took the steps two at a time before my feet landed in the hallway that led to the lobby. I took quick steps trying to figure out what and who had sent Troy and I the box. I saw it plain as day sitting in the middle of the lobby.

"Who's it from?" A voice asked as I turned around and saw my suite mates.

"No return address. I'm guess it's from the Albuquerque gang." I rolled my eyes while trying to wipe the smile off my face; it didn't work.

I heard the door open as my eyes swept over to who had entered. It was some kids from the floor above us. They smiled as I returned a smile. I took my cell phone outta my back pocket and dialed a very familiar number. He picked up on the second ring.

"What's up sweetheart?" He questioned as I smiled. "Where are you?" I questioned back.

"Um . . . we're at the gym. What's wrong?" His concern kicked in as I shook my head.

"We have a package waiting for us in the lobby and I'm anxious to open it." I told him. "We do? Who's it from?"

"There's no return address. Will you come so we can open it?" I asked getting impatient.

"You were never one for patience. I'm on my way." He laughed before we both hung up the phone.

I slid the phone back in my pocket before picking up the box and walking down the hall and up the stairs with it. Olivia opened our dorm room door for me as I walked in and placed it on the table.

I stared at the box while waiting for Troy to show up. The girls laughed at me as I shook my head. "What?"

"Just how impatient you are. Troy will be here in a few minutes." Bella shook her head.

"Sorry; I just haven't seen my mom or Joe since the first week of October. I'm just anxious for anything they send me." I said as they nodded.

"I would have cried buckets if that happened to me." Olivia admitted as I nodded.

I smiled thinking back to Wednesday. "Trust me I did cry some. At least I had calm, cool, and collective Bolton or else I don't know what I would have done." I shook my head just as the door flew open.

"All right we're here." Troy announced as I rolled my eyes.

"You could have knocked! What happens if one of us was changing?" I smacked Troy's shoulder as he looked at me.

"I'm sorry. Would you like me to go back to my dorm and we can open this later?" Troy asked as I shook my head from side to side.

"You're not going anywhere buddy. We're opening this now." I said with wide eyes.

"Who's it from?" Coming closer to me, Troy's eyes swept over the box.

"I don't know. That's why I'm anxious to open it." I smiled sweetly as he leaned over and kissed me.

"First things first." He kissed me again before pulling back and I reached over and smacked him.

"Ow what was that for?" Troy rubbed the spot I just hit. I grinned before shaking my head.

"You're delaying me. Let's go." I pulled a knife out of the kitchen drawer.

"Watch out woman with a knife. Danger alert!" Dustin called as I grinned and laughed.

"I love the faith in me." I walked over to the box and slid the knife through the clear tape.

The silence was killing me as I threw the flaps open and threw the paper to the side. "Do you want any help, sweetheart?"

I looked over my shoulder at Troy and grinned. I nodded before he joined me in front of the brown box. I stood on my tip toes looking into the box.

"Well, well what do we have here?" Troy asked taking out a box while I grabbed a pile of letters.

"What did you guys get?" Chad asked coming closer to us.

I flipped through the pile of letters and saw envelopes individual addressed to Troy and I. In the bottom of the letters, there was a pile of pictures.

Gabi and Troy,

We missed you so much at Thanksgiving. We figured we would give you a Thanksgiving present since you couldn't come home. Enjoy the goodies and we'll see you December 14th

Love,

Anna, Meghan, and Jack

I shook my head trying to stop the tears I knew would eventually fall down my face. Troy wrapped his arm around my waist pulling me closer to him. "Are you going to be all right?"

I nodded my head while fingering the envelopes. "I think so; some tears might be shed but I'll be fine." I pushed forward a smile before digging through the rest of the box.

I grinned and looked over at Troy when I saw the goodie box at the bottom. "The mom's hit the jackpot." I pulled out a tin can and popped open the lid.

"Hm . . . those smell delicious. Mom's know what's best." Stealing a cookie out of the tin, Troy grinned at me.

Dustin, Bella, Chad, Taylor, Olivia, and Matt left us alone so we could go through our box. Troy and I spent the rest of the afternoon enjoying each other's company while reading the letters from our siblings and friends.

I'll be seeing you
In every lovely summer's day;
In every thing that's light and gay.
I'll always think of you that way.

I'll find you
In the morning sun
And when the night is new.
I'll be looking at the moon,
But I'll be seeing you.

I'll be seeing you
In every lovely summer's day;
In every thing that's light and gay.
I'll always think of you that way.

I'll find you
In the morning sun
And when the night is new.
I'll be looking at the moon,
But I'll be seeing you.


The song is "I'll Be Seeing You" by Billie Holiday. Feedback would be great. Thank you to everyone who has submitted feedback!
